6 Hard truths that pro wrestling fans need to accept

#2 Getting Over with the fans is more important than technical wrestling skill

If you were a wrestling fan in the 1980s, then Hulk Hogan was your hero and paradigm of virtue, period.

We here at Sportskeeda don't have anything against technical wrestling. Far from it. We love to watch two masters of the craft go toe to toe, such as the Ironman match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels.

But, quick, what's the greatest Wrestlemania match of all time? Most likely, your answer would be the Wrestelmania III main event pitting Andre the Giant against Hulk Hogan for the WWE Championship.

Was that match a technical wrestling powerhouse? Absolutely not. But did it tell a compelling story featuring two men who were imminently over with the audience? Absolutely yes.

Getting over with the fans is more important than having the biggest moveset. Always has been, always will be. Might as well accept it as truth.
